Bug: delay in \getmarking
by Steffen Wolfrum 17 Dec '10

17 Dec '10

Hi, I don't no exactly when it changed, but it still worked in ConTeXt ver: 2010.09.05 13:23 MKIV. Now, there is a one page delay in \getmarking! Please run minimal exmaple below and look at page 7: Section = 1.2 B Header = 1.2 A Steffen ------- \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided,location=] \setupheader[align=middle] \def\KolumneL{{\convertnumber{Numbers}{\namedheadnumber{chapter}}.\,Teil:}\enskip\getmarking[chapter]} \def\KolumneR{\headnumber[section]\enskip\getmarking[section]} \setupheadertexts [\vtop{\startalignment[center]\KolumneR\stopalignment}] [pagenumber] [pagenumber] [\vtop{\startalignment[center]\KolumneL\stopalignment}] \starttext \chapter[reference={Teil_1}, title={Einleitung}, bookmark={Einleitung}, list={Einleitung}, marking={Einleitung}] \dorecurse{14}{\input tufte} \section[ title={A}, marking={A}] \dorecurse{14}{\input tufte} \section[ title={B}, marking={B}] \dorecurse{14}{\input tufte} \stoptext

4000 pages limit?
by Marco Pessotto 17 Dec '10

17 Dec '10

Hello there. Yesterday I was trying to typeset a very, very long document (about 3000 pages in A4). Well, mkiv died with a PANIC: unprotected error in call to Lua API (stack overflow (out of stack space)) It's easily reproducible with a simple \starttext \dorecurse{50000}{ \input knuth } Once it reaches page 4000 it will die. I'm obviously going to split the document, because a pdf of 4000 pages is just insane, but now I'm curious if this is a known limit. Bests -- Marco

FR: Wiki: Button to include code area
by Jonas Stein 17 Dec '10

17 Dec '10

My Featurerequest for the Wiki: in some wikis its possible to enhance the buttons in the edit window with own tags. I would suggest to add <context source=yes> $text </context> that should work like the link button that creates [[$text]] That would be fantastic! Thank you. -- Jonas Stein <news(a)jonasstein.de>

Three column nomenclature settings?
by seasoul 17 Dec '10

17 Dec '10

Nomenclature can be considered as a type of synonyms. Therefore, I can define a nomenclature as : \definesynonyms[nomenclature][nomenclatures][\infull] \setupsynonyms[nomenclature] [criterium=all,location=serried] here I use location=serried, becasue I found the synonym is not in the same line ( higher than) the meaning. But I want a three-column nomenclature list. The first column is the synonym, the second is the meaning, the third is the si-unit of it, if the synonym has an unit. Like ------ p Pressure of xxx Pa l Length of xxx m ------- How to redefine the nomenclature command?

Which way to type greek letters in synonym list?
by seasoul 17 Dec '10

17 Dec '10

Dear All, I am setting up the synonym list. I defined it as "nomenclature" \definesynonyms[nomenclature][nomenclatures][\infull] \setupsynonyms[nomenclature] [criterium=all,location=serried] when i type in someting like \nomenclature{A} {Area} it works. But if I type \nomenclature{$\alpha$}{Angle of something} it fails. The reason may be only text could be used. I found the list is sorted alphabetically. Then if I type a greek letter, the compiler does not konw how to sort it.

<cmd>foo</cmd> creates a javascript link that opens a new small window with the reference list inside. It would be nice, if it would open the corresponding page. like http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Reference/en/foo is that possible? kind regards, -- Jonas Stein <news(a)jonasstein.de>

listalternative “d” and \[start|stop]narrower
by Philipp Gesang 16 Dec '10

16 Dec '10

Hi all, is it possible somehow (in mkiv) to setup the list alternative “d” to resemble this example from the source (works in mkii, slightly shortened) with narrower to the left and the right? ···8<···························································· %\setupinteraction[state=start] \setupcolors[state=start] \setuphead [part] [page=right,placehead=yes] \setuplist [chapter] [alternative=d,before=\blank,after=\blank] \setuplist [part] [before=\blank,after=\blank] \starttext \startsetups chapter \blank \startnarrower[3*middle] \placecontent[criterium=local] \stopnarrower \stopsetups \placelist[part][criterium=text,after=\setups{chapter}] \part{First part} \chapter{Chapter one} \chapter{Chapter two} \chapter{Chapter three} \chapter{Chapter four} \chapter{Chapter five} \part{Second part} \chapter{Chapter one} \chapter{Chapter two} \chapter{Chapter three} \chapter{Chapter four} \chapter{Chapter five} \part{Third part} \chapter{Chapter one} \chapter{Chapter two} \chapter{Chapter three} \chapter{Chapter four} \chapter{Chapter five} \stoptext \endinput ···8<···························································· (Hanging text is possible via the “margin” key of “\setuplist” but only on the left side. Alternatively, could there be interaction support for custom list commands?)

Is there a way to split TABLE and TABLE caption for longtables
by barney schwartz 16 Dec '10

16 Dec '10

Group, Hans. Wolfgang, Help PLEASE I have numerous loooooong tables to publish. attached find minimal example. I need these tables to mimic \longtables LaTeX package. I got a recode from Wolfgang using the TABLE module which works well for the header, footer and TABLEbody however: I need table caption and tablefoot to state: table xxxxxx (continue) Also it would be perfect if the top of the continued page(s) were open and the footer for the continued page(s) said: table xxxxxxx (continued) Is there a way to accomplishe this feat of magic within ConTeXt? I have tried all I can think of to no avail. I have been on this problem now for 3 weeks. If no solution then I am afraid that I must resort back to LaTeX and memoir class. I am truely hoping NOT to go back. barney
